Class Types and Descriptions

 

 

Mixed Age Classes (ages birth through kindergarten)

Your Spring registration includes:

  • Weekly 45-minute classes include songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement, and instrument play. These activities are presented as informal, non-performance-oriented musical experiences--developmentally appropriate for children and easy for parents and caregivers--regardless of their own musical ability. 
  • A wonderfully produced music CD of our semester's songs, an illustrated songbook, and parent guide are included! 
  • As a registered family, you receive a unique code that gives you access to the Music Together® Family Music Zone®, containing more activities and printables related to the semester's curriculum, as well the ability to download the semester songs to your mobile device(s). 

 Rhythm Kids® (ages 5-8)  

Rhythm Kids® Level 2 is an exciting music, movement, and drumming class for children in Kindergarten through second grade (ages 5 through 8). Children integrate and assimilate rhythm into their lives, as they:

•  learn multicultural drumming patterns; 


•  develop new repertoire on various percussion instruments; 


•  explore movement and dance while singing songs; 


•  play games based on music and drumming;


•  have fun with a host of rhythm activities. 
Rhythm Kids® follows through on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age 8. As part of the Rhythm Kids® experience, children and their grownups can enjoy drumming play and practice sessions at home with the help of online play-along videos featuring Rhythm Kids® creator Tom Foote. 
Classes are for children K–2 (ages 5 through 8) and include: 


•  Weekly, 45-minute classes 


•  Animal-ThemedCollection Songbook and CD (as well as digital download) each semester 


•  Access to online video tutorials and play-alongs 
Children will: 


•  Learn, create, discover and explore music, movement and drumming 


•  Enjoy age-appropriate ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, tambourines, etc.) 


•  Explore traditional drumming patterns through animal names and movements 


•  Experience drumming, song, and dance from around the world (Mali, Puerto Rico, 
Turkey, etc.) 


•  Find new ways to connect mind, body, and voice through rhythm 


•  Develop skill in improvising, soloing, conducting, composition, and improvisation 


•  Participate in active musical games that are both enriching and totally fun! 
This is an instrument-learning class, so your child will need a drum. Please ask your teacher about the special discounts on djembe drums that are available to Music Together families.
